WINNING POINTS

NBA BASKETBALL

*Cleveland over Orlando by 3
Orlando has fared much better on the road from a pointspread perspective coveringnine of 14 away matchups. The Magic also have revenge for a 109-100 home loss tothe Cavaliers on Dec. 13.
CLEVELAND 100-97.

*Miami over Golden State by 8
It's not a coincidence the Warriors have been playing stronger defense since AndreIguodala, their best defender, returned to the lineup.
MIAMI 97-89.

***BEST BET
*Chicago over Boston by 16
Racked with injuries, the Bulls have been one of the biggest underachievers. But theirtalent level remains higher than Boston. This is only Boston's second road appearancesince Dec. 10. The Celtics have lost and failed to cover three of their last four awaygames, including losing by seven points to Milwaukee and by eight points toBrooklyn. Bulls coach and defensive guru Tom Thibodeau takes extra pride in beat-ing his former team. The Bulls have held the Celtics to an average of 82.6 points inregulation during the past three meetings.
CHICAGO 98-82.

*Oklahoma City over Brooklyn by 14
The Nets have dealt with assorted injuries, but Brook Lopez being out long term witha broken foot may prove too much to overcome. Oklahoma City was 7-4 ATS the past11 times laying points through this past Saturday.
OKLAHOMA CITY 104-90.

*San Antonio over New York by 9
The Spurs were 1-6 ATS in their last seven home games through this past Saturdayand have a huge home revenge game on tap against the Clippers Saturday.
SAN ANTONIO 100-91.

*Utah over Milwaukee by 5
Larry Sanders is back for Milwaukee and rookie Giannis Antetokounmpo is startingto show something with increased minutes, but the Bucks were 0-6 ATS versus homeopponents with an under .400 winning percentage.
UTAH 98-93.

*Phoenix over Memphis by 3
The Grizzlies have yet to show much, but still rolled past the Suns, 110-91, at homea month ago. Memphis outscored Phoenix, 56-36, in the paint despite missing MarcGasol and Zach Randolph.
PHOENIX 104-101.

*Portland over Charlotte by 9
These have been two play-on teams. The Trail Blazers are returning home afterMonday and Tuesday road contests versus New Orleans and Oklahoma City, whilethe Bobcats are involved in their fourth road contests during the last six days and sec-ond in two nights.
PORTLAND 99-90.

***BEST BET
Philadelphia over *Sacramento by 5
Sandwiched in between road contests against Denver and Portland, this is the 76ers'chance to come away with an away victory. The 76ers have been scoring more sinceMichael Carter-Williams returned to the lineup. The Kings have failed to cover in 12of their last 17 home matchups and ranked even worse than Philadelphia in defensivefield goal percentage and 3-point defensive percentage.
PHILADELPHIA 114-109

WISC-GREEN BAY by 17 over Cleveland St. (Thurs., Jan. 2)

TULANE over Hofstra by 8 to 11—12-Tul -9' 83-62

MINNESOTA 72 - Michigan 66—Although newcomers such as frosh G
Derrick Walton, Jr. are performing admirably for Michigan, make no mistake
that John Beilein is missing last year’s stars Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway, Jr.,
who led the Wolverines to the NCAA final but are now working in the NBA.
Which is one reason Michigan has lost four games already. Although the
coaching edge goes to the Wolverines in the Beilein vs. Richard Pitino sideline
matchup, not sure the fundamentals work in favor of Michigan, which has had
defensive issues in the first half of season. The Hollins boys (Austin & Andre)
likely present some issues for the Wolverines, and the Gophers have
straightened out from a few bumps in the road that they absorbed during
Thanksgiving week in Maui. 12-Mich +2' 83-75

★★★ WIS.-GREEN BAY 78 - Cleveland St. 61—Matchups were all wrong
last year for CSU against Green Bay, which rolled to a pair of wins and covers
(including a 27-point romp at the Resch Center). With most of the same cast
back for the Fighting Phoenix, not sure things are much better this year for the
Vikings, whose backcourt was made to look slow against uber-athletic Green
Bay PG Keifer Sykes (19.7 ppg), while 7-0 Fighting Phoenix C Alec Brown (15
ppg) is now more refined offensively than a year ago. 12-WGB -9 77-50, Wgb

VALPARAISO 81 - Ill.-Chicago 63—With Valpo needing to ratchet up its
offense with an upcoming trip to frenetic-paced Oakland in two days, the
Crusaders couldn’t ask for a more desirable opponent than ICU, which is
allowing 48.9% FGs (ranking 327th). Don’t see the Flames “burning too brightly”
following their emotionally-charged battle with prestigious instate foe Illinois on
Saturday. You can count on an inspired effort from the Crusaders’ top weapon,
sr. LaVonte Dority (15.6 ppg), who is a proud Chicago product. Plus, Valpo is
likely to extend the lead in late going, thanks to a solid 75% from foul line (that’s
pretty darn good these days). 12-Val -3' 75-70, VAL -12 86-61

ARIZONA ST. 83 - Washington 68—With ASU gaining additional backcourt
depth and toughness with the recent eligibility of Michigan State transfer 6-5 G
Brandan Kearney, good spot to “lay it” vs. a U-Dub squad still too often lax on
the stop end. The perimeter-dominant Huskies will have a murderous time
contending with the Sun Devils’ mammoth 7-2, 256-pound sr. C Jordan
Bachynski (12.8 ppg, 9.8 rpg). Meanwhile, ASU’s high-level backcourt duo of 5-
10 soph Jahil Carson (19.6 ppg) & 6-4 sr. Jermaine Marshall (15.6 ppg) will
exploit U-Dub’s offensively-minded 6-5 sr. G C.J. Wilcox on the attack end.

Barry Hinson’s postgame rant after the expected beating his Salukis are likely
to absorb from revenge-minded Wichita, which will need little reminder that it
was upset in Carbondale last season. The Shockers’ confidence now soaring
after an unscathed pre-league slate vs. tough opposition, as the emergence of
soph Gs Ron Baker (14.1 ppg) & Fred VanVleet (12 ppg) as new offensive
catalysts has given Gregg Marshall a few more options on attack than a year
ago, when Shockers mostly worked inside-out, looking first to dump the ball

THE GOLD SHEET

PRO BASKETBALL

Orlando 98 - CLEVELAND 94—Rematch of Cleveland’s 109-100 win at
Amway Center on December 13, when Gs Kyrie Irving and Dion Waiters
combined for 52 points to lead Mike Brown’s team. But not sure we want to lay
points with Cavs, with Waiters now nursing a wrist injury and Cleveland
slumping badly in the last week. Moreover, Cavs are just 1-9 as chalk thru Dec.
27, while Magic 9-5 as road dog to date. Sounds like a reason to take the points!
13-Cle +2 109-100 (195); 12-ORL -4' 108-104 (185), CLE -7 119-108 (199), Cle
-5 118-94 (200), CLE -5' 91-85 (203)

MIAMI 101 - Golden St. 98—Miami will be on alert against a Golden State
side that won at AmericanAirlines Arena last season. But Heat has been has
hardly been an automatic go-with as home chalk, covering only 6 of first 16 in
role at AmericanAirlines Arena, and Warriors’ ability to bomb away from
perimeter (NBA-best 45% beyond arc) suggest that points might be worth a
look. Golden State also tightening up its three-point defense lately (last three
foes just 21% from tripleville thru Dec. 26). Note Warriors “under” 11-5 on road
thru Dec. 28. 12-Gs +8' 97-95 (206), Mia -3' 92-75 (201)

CHICAGO 93 - Boston 88—With Derrick Rose sidelined and Luol Deng’s
status up in the air, we would have to be pretty nervy to make a strong case
laying points with Chicago, which has also covered just 4 of 16 tries as chalk
thru December 26. But since Boston also listing as the schedule approached
New Year’s with losses SU and vs. the spread in its last 3 thru Dec. 27, perhaps
we should be more excited about a “totals” recommendation and Celtics 11-3
“under” mark last 14 away. 12-Bos +2' 101-95 (184), CHI -1' 100-89 (181), Chi
+3 100-99 (OT-182), BOS -2' 71-69 (182)

OKLAHOMA CITY 111 - Brooklyn 93—Oddsmakers are going to make Ok
City backers lay a pretty heavy price, especially after Brooklyn’s most-recent
laid egg on Christmas against the Bulls. But we don’t mind taking our chances
with Thunder, which had won 11 of 12 SU heading into last Friday’s game vs.
Charlotte and recently notched season highs in points (123) and 3-point FG%
(54%) in Christmas Day romp past the Knicks at MSG. Generating 106.3 ppg
(third best in NBA), we know the Thunder has the horsepower to extend the
margin vs. Brooklyn side that was only 6-8 vs. line away thru Dec. 27 and had
dropped last four overall SU and vs. line prior to facing Bucks on Dec. 27. 12-
Okc -4 117-111 (195), Bro +9' 110-93 (197) TV—NBA NETWORK

SAN ANTONIO 114 - New York 101—Maybe there’s a contrarian argument
to make on behalf of the Knicks, who might have Carmelo Anthony on the shelf
after he missed action with an ankle injury last week, and have also not offered
much value in dog role, standing just 4-10 getting points thru Dec. 27. Oh yes,
New York was also throttled by Spurs 120-89 at MSG back on Nov. 10, a game
in which S.A. hit 54% from floor and Knicks could do no better than 37%. Tyson
Chandler has since returned to active duty for Knicks, who had not fared too
badly in games prior to the Christmas Day massacre engineered by Ok City.
Since S.A. backers are probably going to be forced to pay a premium, a better
alternative might be “over” (Spurs that way 5 of last 6 thru Dec. 25). 13-San -
3 120-89 (196); 12-Ny +5 104-100 (195), NY -1 100-83 (208)

UTAH 104 - Milwaukee 103—There’s a knee-jerk reaction when the
prospect of taking Milwaukee is considered. But in this case, it might not be the
worst idea, as Bucks should have 6-11 Larry Sanders back from injury, and
Larry Drew’s side had covered three in a row thru Dec. 26. Besides, we have
little interest laying points at home with Utah side that had failed to cover last
four at EnergySolutions Arena prior to Lakers’ visit on December 27. 12-UTAH
-5' 100-86 (201), MIL -4' 109-108 (OT-200)

PHOENIX 111 - Memphis 98—Prior to the season, not many would have
expected Phoenix to be laying points (maybe several of them) to Memphis at
this stage of the season. But without Marc Gasol (Griz 5-9 SU without him thru
Dec. 26) and with its “metrics revolution” having taken a detour as 9-18 spread
mark into late December would indicate, we just don’t have much interest in
backing Memphis. Meanwhile, Suns had covered 8 of last 9 thru Dec. 26 and
will be in revenge mode after uncharacteristic 110-91 beating absorbed at
FedEx Forum on Dec. 3 when a makeshift Memphis lineup without both Gasol
and Zach Randolph shot 55% from floor. Suns won’t have their gloves down this
time. Also note Phoenix “over” 9-4 at US Airways Center thru Dec. 27. 13-
MEM -3 110-91 (192); 12-MEM -10' 108-98 (OT-196), PHO +6' 82-80 (195),
Mem -4' 92-81 (185), Pho +8' 96-90 (184)

PORTLAND 111 - Charlotte 103—Not many would have considered both
of these to be playoff teams before the season began. Think again. Blazers
have cooled a bit lately (at least vs. spread), with no covers in last four thru Dec.
25. Another test for Charlotte’s road dog mark, which was 10-1 thru Dec. 27.
Note ongoing “over” trends for Portland (now 17-3 last 20 thru Dec. 25). 12-Por
+1 118-112 (OT-192), POR -13 122-105 (198)

SACRAMENTO 112 - Philadelphia 106—Not much to choose from here,
as Sacto an unreliable 1-7 as pick or home chalk, but Sixers not much better
with only 2 covers in last 13 outings thru Dec. 26. The best call at Sleep Train
might be the “over” with Kings that way 9-2 last 11 thru Dec. 26, while Sixers
“over” their last five prior to visiting Phoenix on December 28. 12-PHI -6' 89-80
(199), Phi +3 117-103 (205)
